The Kingdom of Smarticles is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by LeMickey with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.238 billion chodes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smarticles City. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient chodey economy, worth 281 trillion Smartdollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 125,730 Smartdollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, one can wake up in Smarticles and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution. Crime is totally unknown. Smarticles's national animal is the pookie bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Smarticles is ranked 38,020th in the world and 2,382nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
